atomic cake

OK, so I'll respond to my own post (how food-geeky am I?) i found a couple of recipes for Chicago Atomic Cake ( I love this thing they call the Internets...). They both use cake (choco, vanilla, banana) and pudding mixes (same holy trinity), fresh strawberries, as well as a carton of whipped topping (aka Cool Whip). Here are links. Me, I'll make the cakes from scratch and whip the cream myself (skimmed off the tops of fresh milk from kate's happy cows). Then my kitchen will look like a bomb went off... hence the name. If you have a recipe, I'd love to know about it!

I grew up in St. Louis and have no recollection of the Atomic Cake--although I ate plenty of red velvet cake and sauerkraut cake!
